Although the team did not make it into the top ten, the groupâs instructor, Mark Ogelsby, says they have nothing to be down about because everyone did a great job and heâs proud of all of his students for their hard work and performance. He was especially proud of the teamâs Unit Six, which achieved Outstanding status at the national competition. Ogelsby says while the team was disappointed they didnât qualify for the top ten and a chance to compete yesterday on Capitol Hill, they are proud of Unit Six, which he says refused the award because they wanted the entire team to be recognized. This marked the 12th year that Howell High Schoolâs âWe the Peopleâ team has been competing but the first time in the districtâs history that it won the state finals and made it to nationals.
